A visual romp through the career of the iconic '60s Danish designer, known for his groovy, vibrant furniture and lighting

Verner Panton (1926-98) was Danish design's enfant terrible during the mid-20th century. While his colleagues prioritized natural materials and manual craftsmanship, Panton experimented with colored plastic, fiberglass, steel and synthetic fabrics and tested new industrial mass-production methods. In 1960, he debuted the first single-form injection-molded plastic chair, known as the S chair, which is still produced today. While Panton's works are undoubtedly connected to the ethos and aesthetics of the '60s and '70s, their mixture of utilitarianism and comfort presages the concerns of contemporary design.
